If you want to find out before anyone else about everything that's happening, you can subscribe to our newsletter and you will receive the weekly El Comidista menu in your email every Friday. Here you have all the information.
Listen to us, understand it: It is impossible for us not to continue talking about the virtues of preparing recipes with seasonal products. This section, the weekly menu, was created precisely for that: to make your life easier with simple and tasty dishes. Broccoli with nut cream, panzanella cabbage or chickpea and cauliflower curry are examples of this.
Monday January 22
FIRST: BEET AND CITRUS SALAD WITH WHINKED TOFU
Salads are not just for summer, and we prove it with a recipe that is pure winter. Combining beet, orange and grapefruit with the creaminess of tofu will make you want this season to last another month.
SECOND: PIBIL CHICKEN
A quick and somewhat lighter version of the famous Yucatan cochinita. The spice to brighten it up is optional but recommended; good corn tortillas are non-negotiable.
DESSERT: FLAN CARAMEL
This dulce de leche flan will make your head explode. The secret to achieving its texture is in the temperature, so pay attention. Let's salivate!
Tuesday January 23
FIRST: AVOCADO STUFFED WITH CARROT AND QUAIL EGG
Stuffing an avocado is a great idea, especially if you do it with a very well seasoned carrot tartar topped with fried quail egg.
SECOND: CACIO E PEPE
'Cacio e pepe' is a classic of minimalist Italian cuisine. Chef José Andrés prepares it – sacrilege! – In the microwave, and his version – surprise! – Is a smash hit.
DESSERT: SEASONAL FRUIT: CHIRIMOYA
This tropical fruit is rich in fiber and vitamin C and is also very tasty, which is always important.
Wednesday, January 24
FIRST: CARROT VICHYSSOISE
If you think that the potato-leek combination is one of the best friendships that France has given to the world and as a child you liked to color where it didn't belong, we think we can understand each other: vichyssoise arouses passions.
SECOND: CABBAGE PANZANELLA
A warm salad that combines different cabbages cooked to perfection with a cheerful dressing, homemade croutons, basil and a red onion that loses strength when combined with the hot vegetables.
DESSERT: BLANCMANGE
A sweet of medieval origin that really hit the mark centuries ago and wants to succeed again, showing that the years do not pass by it and it remains as fresh as a young girl.
Thursday January 25
FIRST: FAKE COCKLE CEVICHE
Can you tune a can of cockles into something similar to ceviche? The answer, a few lines below (just in case you buy lime, avocado, cilantro, tomato and a couple of other things).
SECOND: ALCÁNTARA COD
The French looted the monastery of the town of Cáceres in the War of Independence and supposedly took a recipe book that made “Alcántara-style” dishes fashionable in France. Reality or fiction?
DESSERT: SEASONAL FRUIT: KIWI
The national kiwi is in season, it is one of the fruits with the highest concentration of vitamin C, it is eaten by the spoonful and is delicious, what more reasons do you need to make it your dessert?
Friday January 26
FIRST: GREEK RICE, CHICKEN, EGG AND LEMON SOUP
The base of this dish is chicken broth, in which rice is cooked for a long time to release starch. The carnaroli or arborio varieties, widely used in risottos, are ideal for slightly thickening this soup.
SECOND: TOFU 'NUGGETS' WITH SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE
Yes, we have called something that doesn't contain chicken a 'nugget', that's how crazy we are. And there's no need for meat: this recipe is just as tasty as its carnivorous version.
DESSERT: HOMEMADE CUPCAKES
Why buy muffins when they are so easy to make? These queens of breakfast and snacks can be adapted to our tastes with a pinch of science.
Saturday January 27
MAIN DISH: BROCCOLI WITH DRIED FRUIT CREAM
In this recipe we serve steamed broccoli or bimi florets on a cream prepared with the less aesthetic but equally tasty parts of the vegetable.
DESSERT: SEASONAL FRUIT: MANDARIN
Ok: the smell of tangerines is not easy to remove from your fingers, but it is a lesser evil compared to their juiciness.
Sunday January 28
MAIN DISH: CHICKPEA AND CAULIFLOWER CURRY
A quick Indian stew, which invites you to pay an ode to the spoon. It comes with a gift idea to lose the fear of preparing our own curry mixtures.
DESSERT: 'LEMON PIE
The buttery and salty dough, the acidic and tasty filling and the sweetness and texture of the meringue make this recipe a success.
The weekend drink
LAPSANG SOUCHONG TEA
It comes from China and has become fashionable for its multiple applications in the kitchen. If you want to give a smoky flavor to any dish without the need for embers or liquid smoke, Lapsang is your ingredient.
